force is flowing freely, you are happy, healthy and whole. When
your life force is blocked or weak, you experience disease.

through simple tapping and massaging to bring health and
vitality back to the body. In this interactive class you will
experience subtle yet powerful ways of self-care. You will
receive a systematic way to:
1. Mobilize and restore energy
2. Keep your immune system strong amid stress.

SBS, Certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor
and Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra Guide
What is Restorative Yoga? Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic
style of yoga which utilizes props to make it easier for the
body to get into certain poses, and thus, surrender to the pose.
Practicing poses using props provides a completely supportive
environment for total relaxation. The more your body is
supported in the poses, the deeper the sense of relaxation.
Relaxation is a state in which there is no movement, no effort,
and the brain is quiet. This is like doing yoga on a huge comfy
couch. You will be glad you joined this class! Please bring
yoga mat, blankets, pillows, eye pillow, and the more the comfier.
These will serve as props.

to inner freedom. All that is required is to lie down and listen.
It is a systematic method of complete relaxation and peace, not
only for the physical body, but also for the deeper emotional
and mental systems. Yoga Nidra will take you on a journey to
awaken your senses to deep clarity, vibrant health and radiant
joy! This is the meditation of undoing!
In this workshop, Kathleen will explain how Yoga Nidra works
on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual parts of our
being and the benefits and research that have been documented
over the past fifty years at various universities and medical
schools. Then you will experience Yoga Nidra by lying on
your mat or in a chair if you prefer. No DOING, just listen to
the guided meditation by Kathleen and allow Divine Sleep Yoga
Nidra to take you to your true nature of Bliss!

This workshop is an introduction to the fused
glass process and to making jewelry or small glass
pieces. The materials will include dichroic glass,
which its main characteristic is that it transmits
one wavelength of light and reflects another.
Which means that it displays an array of colors
at different angles of view. This makes it an
exciting, ideal material for artistic endeavors. You
will learn the basic properties of glass as they
relate to fusing, and techniques involved in making fused pieces
and in cutting glass. Participants can then make some items of
their choosing such as earrings or pendants. Emphasis will be on
the creative process and on exploring the materials.
Finished pieces will need to be fired in a kiln, which is a special
oven that takes glass up to temperatures in the range of 1250-
1450 degrees. It takes roughly five hours to complete the kiln
firing and cool down process. After pieces have cooled, findings/
bails may be needed to be added on. As this is a one session
workshop, workshop leaders will need to glue any bails needed on,
and mail jewelry back to participants. Material fee will be $18.00
which includes, mailing finished pieces to participants,
and will be collected at the class.
